Ukraine’s first remote driving technology pilot has officially started. The project is being implemented by Uklon, with Boryspil International Airport serving as the first testing platform. The airport’s extensive infrastructure enables comprehensive testing of the technology under a wide range of operating conditions. The initiative also aims to help establish the regulatory and technological groundwork necessary for the future development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in Ukraine.
“The world is rapidly moving towards remote and autonomous mobility systems. It is important for us that, despite the challenges of war, Ukraine continues to maintain momentum in technological development and remains part of the global innovation landscape. Together with the government, we are ready to help shape a roadmap for AV development and create the conditions necessary for implementing innovations that can transform the future of mobility in Ukraine,” said Serhii Hryshkov, CEO of Uklon.
As part of the project, specialists are testing remote driving technology — a real-time vehicle control system that uses dedicated software, cameras, sensors, lidars, and mobile connectivity. Such solutions represent an important step in the evolution of autonomous transport and may, in the future, help improve safety, increase logistics efficiency, and support the development of inclusive mobility solutions.
“Even with Ukraine’s airspace remaining closed, Boryspil Airport continues to support projects related to the future of mobility systems, digital infrastructure, and emerging transport technologies. We believe that, once flights resume, the competitiveness of modern airports will be determined not only by infrastructure itself, but also by the ability to integrate innovative solutions and technological partnerships,” said Oleksiy Dubrevskyy, CEO of Boryspil International Airport.
The testing involves Uklon partner drivers, including a war veteran who uses a wheelchair….
